30th International Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management

Bolzano-Bozen, Italy

July 9 - 11, 2018

Call for Papers

The SSDBM international conference brings together scientific
domain experts, database researchers, practitioners, and
developers for the presentation and exchange of current research
results on concepts, tools, and techniques for scientific and
statistical databases and applications. The 30th SSDBM provides a
forum for original research contributions and practical system
designs, implementations and evaluations. The program of the
research track will be supplemented with invited talks and
demonstrations.

SSDBM 2018 will continue the tradition of past SSDBM meetings
in providing a stimulating environment to encourage discussion
and exchange of ideas on all aspects of research related to
scientific and statistical data management.

The Proceedings of SSDBM 2018 will be published in the ACM
International Conference Proceedings Series.

Topics of interest

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to,
the following, as they relate to scientific and statistical data
management:

Submission guidelines

We solicit papers that describe original work relevant to the
management of scientific and statistical data and not published
or under review elsewhere. SSDBM submissions can be research or
demo papers:

RESEARCH PAPERS (LONG and SHORT): We solicit
full papers (12 pages including references and appendices) and short papers
(4 pages including references and appendices). The former
tend to be descriptions of complete technical work, while the
latter tend to be descriptions of interesting, innovative ideas,
which nevertheless require more work to mature. The program
committee may decide to accept some full papers as short papers.
Full papers will be given a presentation slot in the conference,
while short papers will be presented in the form of posters. All
papers, regardless of size, will be given an entry in the
conference proceedings.

DEMO PAPERS: We solicit demonstration
proposals (4 pages including references and appendices).
Proposals should provide the motivation for the
demonstrated concepts, the information about the technology and
the system to be demonstrated (including a system description,
functionality and figures when applicable), and should state the
significance of the contribution. Selection criteria for the
demonstration proposals evaluation include: the novelty, the
technical advances and challenges, and the overall practical
attractiveness of the demonstrated system. Demo papers will also
be given an entry in the conference proceedings.

Venue

The SSDBM 2018 Conference will be hosted at the Free University of
Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. Bozen-Bolzano is the capital city of the
Province of South Tyrol located in the heart of the Alps. The city is
famous for the 5000 year old iceman "Ötzi" in the archaeological
museum and as an entrance to the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage
Site.
